6And it came to pass on a certain day that the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and the Satan also came among them.7The LORD said to the Satan, "From where have you come?" The Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro in the land and from walking up and down in it."8The LORD said to the Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him in the land, a blameless and upright man who fears God and turns away from evil."9The Satan answered the LORD and said,
Does Job fear God for nothing?10Have you not put a hedge around him and around his house and around all that he has, on every side?
You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestock has increased in the land.11But stretch out your hand now and touch all that he has,
and he will surely curse you to your face.12The LORD said to the Satan,
Behold, all that he has is in your hand;
only do not stretch out your hand against him.
So the Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.13And it came to pass on a certain day that his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their oldest brother.14A messenger came to Job and said, "The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were feeding beside them."15And the Sabeans swooped down and carried them away;
they struck the servants with the edge of the sword,
and I alone have escaped to tell you.16While he was still speaking, another came and said, "The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you."17While he was still speaking, another came and said, "The Chaldeans formed three bands and made a raid on the camels and carried them away; they struck the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you."18While he was still speaking, another came and said, "Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their oldest brother."19And behold, a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, so that it fell upon the young people and they died; and I alone have escaped to tell you.20Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head and fell on the ground and worshiped.21And he said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there; the LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD."22In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrongdoing.
